HISTORY

The Village of Cankton is located on the southern border of St Landry parish in southwest Louisiana. The small community lies along Highway 93 and is a short distance from both Opelousas and Lafayette, Louisiana.

Cankton’s name originated from Dr. Louis Aristide “Cank” Guidry.  As a boy, Guidry would signal his family that he was home from a hunt by using the duck call which sounded like “Cank, cank, cank.” His family would say, "Cank est revenue.” (Cank is back) and his name stuck.
